Picked this up Saturday from a dealer who retiring to FL......Pistol,holster,ammo...Out the door $350

Did'nt give it a second thought!

The orignal owner was a fly-boy during WWII.
I would have N E V E R traded it.

I had a broken clock once, and it was still right twice a day.

But damn, that was lucky.

You better go buy a lottery ticket while you're at it.

Although to be honest, I got nothing to complain about. God has been good to me. But dang.

Isn't legal theft great?

Picked up a WWII era colt for $250 -- needed a new barrel and springs, but I'm happy with my piece of history.

I had a pristine Remington-Rand that I traded, with some extra money, for a Combat Commander. This was during the 70's when R-R were a dime a dozen.

Nice find.

We have a nice Remington-Rand at work. I can't, Legally, get it.

If we get rid of it, it will go to the sheriff's office and be destroyed.

Law Enforcement sucks, ~~sometimes~~ all the time.

You sure about that? I recall one Chief/Sheriff a few years back with a lick of horse sense putting up an old Class III transferrable for public auction, proceeds to benefit the town or agency.
